EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[ocap]

my dad had a terrible time trying to find a tape worm treatment for the cows. you almost end up killing the host. watch out for eggs in the water source, a lot of information on backpacking in tapeworm areas and the need to carefully treat water.

I got co-op today!

how fun!!! have a great Wednesday!!

Ever just have one of those mornings where the world is against you?

Woke up a bit later than usual since I was up late last night. Not a big deal but both kids refused to get up with their alarms so they were behind. Kicked them out of bed and went to the kitchen to let the dogs out. I found that my husky had diarrhea on the floor and peed too. She's 12 years old so it happens now and then, and always on days that I'm running behind. Got that all cleaned up and mopped up and start packing the kids lunches. By this time is 6:30, bus comes by 7:10. Daughter comes out, grabs the bag of cereal off the shelves and knocks down a jar of tomato sauce which of course shatters all over the floor that I just mopped and all over her. While I'm taking forever trying to clean my already cleaned up floor again, kids are complaining that they can't buy lunch today which is the Thanksgiving feast at school. I would've been happy to let them buy, especially today, but I checked their lunch accounts and they spent the money I put in there for them already on snacks and junk at the snack store, something they know they're not allowed to do. Finally get all that cleaned up (dogs whining in the background the whole time, demanding breakfast) and finish packing their lunches while my son goes out to start the car. We go to leave, and get outside, and the wrong car is started. Every single morning we take the same car to the bus stop because it takes next to no gas and the clock matches the bus timing. Trivial, I know but at this point, I'm already fuming about everything else. We get in the car and I look and my son has no coat on. It's already pushing 7:10 but now I have to wait for him to go get a coat. We made it up to the stop just in time.

Thank God the chickens and turkeys are here for therapy on days like this because I think I'd have lost my mind by now! Mira came over to give me a big cuddle (though, she probably just wanted to be warm). I tried to get Cocoa but she didn't want held and just got poop all over me instead. Cuddles, Christmas, Eve, and Juliet all pushed together to give me morning turkey hugs though so they made everything melt away.

awwww you know I was thinking how much therapy my dogs and critters are while I had time to sit with them in peace and quiet yesterday. Soothes the soul.

Hope your day brightens up quickly Jess!

Just think of all the country songs that would've be written about you had you been the farmer's daughter. You'd be famous! @ocap

California Girls Lyrics


Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island
Dolls by a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

Dax, how is your ankle handling the Kenpo? 

show off!!

Joey does @Ur-ur-ur-urrr
  and a beautiful one at that!

Good morning Sally and everyone else
to @Auroradream26

My ankle is doing well with Kenpo. I just find that it is still much easier to hurt with the odd uneven step or uneven edge if I step on one than normal. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt for to long when I do it so it is progressing. It amazes me how long it takes to heal compared to such a thing twenty years ago. I am also still amazed that I can now talk in twenty years ago type statements. :/

I pray everyone has a great day!
